Countenance

By violetflames

Through the window
A dream farther than you thought
Yet the reverie still captures the stars
Within your eyes

You don't know what to cry
You don't remember laughing
All you seem to know
Is how to fall

The only way is up
Thirsty, so thirsty
The only hope is found
And you shall be here now

But lingering through this day; perseverance
Taken for a new ride
The dream holds something true
Something beautiful

The only way is up
Thirsty, so thirsty
The only hope is found
And you shall be here now

Something, someone
Step up on the glass
And look down into a reflection
Shattered by your tears

The only way is up.
